Croll Makes Exeter City Loan Move

31 August 2016

Palace defender Luke Croll has signed for League Two side Exeter City on loan until 14th January.

It will be third loan move of the 21-year-old’s career after short stints with Harrow Borough and Plymouth Argyle, the latter of which saw him making his Football League debut against Exeter back in November 2015.

A graduate of the Eagles academy, Croll has been a regular for the Eagles’ under-21 side over recent years, and made 22 appearances for the development side last season. He featured for Alan Pardew’s side throughout pre-season and was included on their tour of the USA and Canada, after being previously named on the bench for the Premier League game against Watford back in September 2015.

Grecians boss Steve Tisdale will be hoping that the defender can help shore up his defence, with Exeter only claiming three points from their five League Two matches so far this season.
